In article number 2100479, Stephan Dottermusch, Ian A. Howard and co‐workers use ray‐tracing simulations to demonstrate how the performance of lightweight, scalable, solar‐pumped lasers can be boosted by luminescent concentrators. Embedding the solar‐pumped laser's fiber in an appropriately designed solid‐state luminescent concentrator leads to significant enhancement of the output power compared with current designs also based on radiative energy transfer.
